Damaged or Just Dry??

**Veaslea93** · July 11th, 2012, 02:37 PM

So since I've started CO washing about 2 weeks ago, my ends have felt quite straw like, and thought right I'll do a bit of S&D for any splits bit literally only found about two.. So does this mean it's just dry or is it damaged?? And if so how can I fix it??

Sounds more like it might be build up to me. Have you tried clarifying?

Try clarifying.

I agree. It sounds like buildup. Try clarifying and then do a moisture treatment. It should do the trick, if this has just happened since COing.

I agree, claryfying should help. But if this keeps happening then you can try changing the conditioner.

Going to echo the rest and suggest clarifying, mine does the same thing when it need it.

Would any shampoo work? Or do I need something in perticular?

Pretty much any shampoo can work for clarifying. It doesn't need to be harsh.

From what I understand, however, is that stiff straw like hair indicates too much protein in the hair. More moisture / conditioning is needed to balance that out.

What kind of conditioner do you use?
